Mezzetta Pitted Castelvetrano Italian Green Olives, 8 oz

Heard about these olives on a cooking show and decided to try them. They are good, but I am unsure when I will use them other than as a snack.Flavor-wise, they taste like mild Manzanilla olive and a canned black olive combined. Relatively mild - the vinegar flavor is less than a green olive. There is a buttery aftertaste.In general, I think I prefer stronger olives. If you need a mild olive, something stronger than a canned black olive, this would be perfect

I bought these for some recipes we like that call for green olives because I don't like pimentos. Those horrible things are stuffed into most green olives. For 4 decades, I have sat with a seafood fork, picking the pimentos out of every olive before adding them to any dish I make.When these arrived, I was astounded by how beautiful they are. Talk about a picture-perfect olive, this is it! They were so pretty, I felt compelled to photograph them before opening the jar. Deep green, large and unblemished, with nothing stuffed into the space where the pit once was... THIS is the way God intended olives to be.

I have always mostly hated green olives, but my husband loves them, so I bought these -- for him. Turns out, I love these (he likes any green olive, including these). They have a mellower flavor, and are less acidic, than the, sometimes stuffed, olives. I sliced them to put on homemade pizza instead of black olives. Yum. If you like olive oils, and the green olive smell -- but green olives in a jar have never thrilled your palate -- I encourage you to try these. Next up, is to put them in a macaroni or potato salad.

These are the best! I order them on repeat!

They are tasty. A bit saltier than another brand that I have purchased locally.

Pero están buenas también

Best olives you can buy. Only green olives I will purchase.

Tasty. Price is decent.
